Digital PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is a relatively new addition to the Impact Studio list of services, but make no mistake, the relative time of this function is not indicative of the quality. Impact founder and President, Mike Thompson, has carved out a niche and judging by his extensive online following, he is gaining a reputation as a talented landscape and commercial photographer on Vancouver Island. Some of Mike’s shots have been commented on in popular media and others have been selected for high-end clients to use in their materials. If you wondering, just browse through our photos and we are certain you will be just as captivated by the brilliant photos in his portfolio.

IMPACT DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

My name is Mike Thompson and I love landscape photography. I moved to Nanaimo in 1993 and started a marketing, design, web development and print company named Impact Visual Communications Ltd - now known as Impact Studio. As I approach retirement, and have found myself with free time and I have re-ignited my love for photography. I spend many hours every day roaming around Nanaimo and Vancouver Island photographing the beauty that surrounds us. We truly live in paradise.

Photography of Nanaimo and Vancouver Island is my passion.

Please feel free to contact me anytime. If you have a special request or simply have a question about photography I am always available. I look forward to hearing from you.
